Orchestral Concert: Bach, Ligeti, Brahms
Budapest, Palace of Arts — Bela Bartok National Concert Hall
About the Event
In this highly‐anticipated concert, hear the sounds of classical music by Bach, Ligeti and Brahms at Budapest's Palace of Arts.
The musicians of the Festival Orchestra play a suite by Bach on period instruments, to be followed immediately by a set of showpiece arias for coloratura soprano from György Ligeti’s avant‐garde “anti‐opera” performed by the award‐winning German soprano Anna‐Lena Elbert, still in her late twenties and finally, after visits to the extremes, comes a kind of synthesis, the bittersweet, far more reserved and conservative Brahms symphony. The skips between centuries produce seemingly irreconcilable opposites that in fact attract each other. Baroque and contemporary music are a particularly good match, while Brahms’ flowing melodies give a rest to the listener who may have been exhausted by this time travel and such modern sounds.
